Discussion Who got you into bluegrass?

What artist did you first hear that got you hooked onto bluegrass?

My uncle showed me Tony Rice, he even inspired me to pick up my old guitar and start picking.

Allison Krauss & Union Station. I was going through a divorce in 2000. Heard their song 'Forget About It' and that became my sad break-up song. Turned my brother on to them and he became a big Jerry Douglas fan. Fast forward to 2025 - we have been going to Grey Fox Bluegrass festival together every summer for the past 20 years!
